The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
The second meaning of this term was added by a user that's since been globally locked, with the phrasing ported over almost verbatim from Achillean. I don't see how it could meet our our attestation criteria, even with the "neologism" label appended to it (which was added by the original user). Croton Alley (talk) 19:14, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- While it is real (not a hoax on us like dragon sail), used online by a subset of younger queer people, I haven't spotted it used anywhere durable (I only see mentions in glossaries). It's often lowercased like sapphic even in sentences that uppercase other things (so, not just because many users write everything in lowercase), and — again analogous to sapphic — uses vary between treating it as a mere synonym of MLM/gay, treating it as a broader term for any "masculine of center" people who are attracted to the same (the main sense, I think), or using it only for ones who aren't men so as to create a distinction with gay (compare 1, 2, 3). - -sche (discuss) 15:55, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
- I guess the occurrence in the phrase "Vincian flag" in the magazine linked-to above may actually be a use (I suppose "Italian flag" is a use of "Italian"), and if someone wanted to invoke the online-cites rule they could bring in the twitter uses, but I still think this is too rare at this time. - -sche (discuss) 09:19, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
